IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
DO NOT allow children to use or
play with any part of the range,
or leave them unattended
near it.
They could be burned or injured.
2. DO NOT store things children
might want above the range.
Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on it.
3. DO NOT allow anyone to touch
hot surface units or heating
elements. Dark colored units and
elements can still be hot enough
to burn severely.
4. KEEP children away from the
range when it is on. The cooktop
and oven walls, racks and
door can get hot enough to
cause burns.
5. DO NOT use the range to heat a
room. Persons in the room could
be burned or injured, or a fire
could start.
6. KEEP pan handles turned in, but
not over another surface unit to
avoid burns, injury and to help
prevent the utensil from being
pushed off the surface units.
7. DO NOT use water on grease
fires. The fire will spread. Cover
fire with large lid or smother with
baking soda or salt.
8.
DO NOT wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit or heating element and you could be burned.
9. DO NOT heat unopened
containers. They could explode. The
hot contents could burn and
container particles could
cause injury
10.
When adding
or removing food,
the oven
door all the way to prevent burns.
MAKE
SURE to open
. FOR YOUR SAFETY.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

Signal light
One of the signal lights will glow
when a surface unit is on.
Control knobs must be pushed in
before turning them to a setting. They
can be set anywhere
between HI
and OFF.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following
as a guide. For best results,
start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue
cooking.
Use HI to start
foods cooking; to bring
liquids to a
boil.
Use MED-HI
to hold a
rapid boil; to
fry chicken
or pancakes.
Use MED
for gravy,
puddings
and icing; to
cook large
amounts of
vegetables.
Use MED-LO
to keep food
cooking after
starting it
on a higher
setting.
CAUTION: The use of the HI setting for long periods of time
can damage
surface units and discolor
chrome reflector
bowls. Start cooking
on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.
Use LO to
keep food
warm until
ready to
serve. Set the
heat higher
or lower
within the LO
band to keep
food at the
temperature
you want.

Use only flat-bottomed
utensils for best cooking results and to prevent damage
to the cooktop. Specialty
items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged
bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended.

The large diameter of most water-bath
or pressure canners combined
with
high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface
units and cause damage
to the cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend
the installation
of a Canning Kit. Order the kit from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care’
Service
Company.

Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature
of your old oven may have shifted gradually
without you noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures.
But when
comparing
to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.
If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the

CAUTION: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the
surface units. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean,
they reflect heat hefter and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored,
some of the utensils may not be
flat enough, or some may be too large for the surface unit. In either
case, some of the heat that’s meant to go into or around a utensil
goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This extra heat can discolor
it. See Cooking Guide for further information.
Lift-Up
1.
Cooktop
Lift front of cooktop at both front
corners until the support rods lock
into place.
2. Wipe with warm soapy water. Use
a soapy steel wool pad on
stubborn spots.
3. To lower the cooktop,
lift cooktop
from both sides while pressing the
support rods back to unlock them.
Lower the cooktop into place.

CAUTION: Do not drop the cooktop. Damage
can result to the
porcelain

frame.
Using the Self-Cleaning
Cycle
The Self-Cleaning
cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before
YOU start, make sure YOU understand
exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning
cycle safely.
.
Before You Start
1. Clean the shaded
areas by hand.
They do not get hot enough
during the Self-Cleaning
cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot wafer
and detergent or a soapy steel
wool pad on...
l The inside
of the door.
l The frame
around the oven.
DO NOT clean the fiberglass
seal.
DO NOT move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning
and poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broller pan and any
pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t
stand the heat.
3.
CLEAN FRAME
CLEAN DOOR
Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. This will help reduce
smoke during the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
4. If the oven has a rotisserie, make
sure the motor socket cover is
closed.
5. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand. Otherwise, put oven racks on second
and fourth guides (guides are
counted from bottom to top]. After
racks are cleaned
in the SelfCleaning
cycle, they become
harder to slide. See chart on page
20. Chrome reflector bowls must
not be cleaned
in the oven. They
will
discolor.
CLEAN SEAL
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS:
DO NOT use commercial
oven
cleaners
In your oven. Damage

DO NOT force the lock lever, you
could bend or break it. The lever is
deslgned

oven is cool enough to safely
open. Walt untll It moves freely.
DO NOT use foil or other liners In
the oven. During the Self-Cleaning
cycle foil can burn or melt and
damage
the oven surface.
DO NOT block the vent during
the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Alr must
move freely for best cleaning
results.
Setting the Controls
Be sure the kitchen is ventilated

Tips
Keep the kitchen well ventilated
during the Self-Cleaning
cycle to help
get rid of normal heat, odors and smoke.
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning
a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
If the Self-Cleaning
cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected,
the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning
cycle longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on page 17.
